Reading, watching, or listening to fictional characters who reflect us can be a powerful experience for mental health and healing. This week, we spoke with Aniela Schaefer about some of the lessons Remus Lupin has to teach about living with physical and mental illnesses.

On Episode 14, we discuss…

→ TRIGGER WARNING: self-harm mention 28:40-30:15

→ Growing up with a chronic illness

→ The connections of mental and physical health

→ Connecting deeply with Remus Lupin

→ What would Lupin do?

→ Being an advocate for mental health as a teacher

→ Accidentally discovering the things we love

→ Learning to work with yourself and your abilities

→ Refusing to give in to shame
